Randomness!

In my new craft room/boys playroom the light pours in the windows from about 3 in the afternoon till sunset. Its so beautiful and inspiring! Because of the boys adjusting to actually having light in their room during naptime (as opposed to the basement room with no windows) I have not been able to sit a get creative! Jay is turning four in 3 months and I am pretty sure he is saying good bye to naps..eek! So he has a quiet time for about an hour (or however much i can convince him of) and then up and full of more and more questions to exhaust me with! But right now he is sitting at the desk with me talking to himself and drawing, so I am blogging:) Today it is a blog of what we have been up to, via random pictures!! Hope you enjoy!

I painted the underside of the boys' train table! The playroom is gray and yellow, so I decided to just go with gray, which is a titch boring, but I like it. The great thing is I bought a sample jar of paint, in "elephant skin" and mixed it with 2 tablespoons of non-sanded grout and viola! its a chalkboard table!!

Remember in an old post I had this picture frame, it was brown with an ugly looking chicken as the picture? Well, I took the picture out, painted the frame with yellow paint I got from the "oops" sections at home depot and made in into a hanging pin cushion. Cute and practical!

my little artists! 

For Miles's 2nd birthday I made him this art apron with the shark fabric that he specifically picked out and covered it with vinyl so paint could be wiped off. I made it long enough to cover pants if he is wearing them, and it velcros so he can take it off. For his independent "MY DO IT" personality.  He also got a ton of paint and the easel!

I love these boys!

Little mini Bob Ross enjoying his cupcake after a hard day of painting his happy trees.

I wanted to add an S to my shelve that we built (pics to come once the wood is stained!)  I bought a huge S at Joann fabrics and covered it with moss, super easy, inexpensive, and cute!

My little cutie pie son bear.

He was so serious as he was painted and he picked out the paint all by himself (well maybe a little help:)

This is the dresser that I refinished. It is also on an old post of mine. Once I figure out how to link the posts I will.  But it was old ugly brown wood and gold handles. I sanded it down and painted it with a sample jar of paint-only $2.96! and of course bought new handles!

Before we got a box spring...he fell asleep praying, I'm sure of it, so holy.

He was zonked after painting, guess no time to wash his face:)
